Candles, who doesn’t love them. They are pretty. They smell good. They are a great Feng Shui cure. They can set a mood…but what is in the candles you are burning?
Again, as with yesterday’s invitation to notice what you are spraying in the air you breathe, I invite you to look at what you are burning into the air you breathe.
As with many other products out there, so many contain toxic chemicals you are then releasing into your space.
Check your candles to make sure they are clean burning non toxic candles.
Look for:
100% (that is important) Coconut wax, soy or beeswax
Lead free or wood wick
100% Free of parabens, lead, plastics and phthalates (which is a known endocrine disrupters)
Fragrance derived from 100% naturally derived essential oils
There are so many good lines out there now making candles. Please feel free to share if you have a favorite! Comment below!
